I have been doing so much reading and research, my head is about to explode. :banghead: So, I am going to put it in your hands. Your mission, should you choose to accept, will be to give me your stocking ideas. Once suggestions are in, I will hold a poll for the top 3 I like and let others vote. Once the voting is over, my tank will be exactly what your idea submission is. Once the tank is done, I will send the winner a framed 8x10 picture of the completed tank with my autograph and thanks.

So, that aside, this is what I am wanting. I love the Yellow Labs. I would like these to be the" center" of the tank. I would also like for them to eventually breed. I want to avoid cross breeding. I would like to avoid major overstocking as I don't mind bi-weekly water changes but I don't want to do it every week. I have 2 75's and alternate them. I want various colors. If Labs have to be out for this, so be it. Suggest another breeding pair. I just want a happy group that I can have a lot of decor in and not have to strip it all out and throw 40 fish in to keep everyone in line. I will use a lot of rocks a fake plants. I also have really hard, higher PH water. I have 2 Bolivian Rams and 1 Angelfish in the other 75 and they are doing good. I eagerly await your stocking ideas.:thanks:

These all stay pretty small and that would be under stocked imo for your tank with these guys. :) I hooked you up with different colors there is yellow, yellow and black, blue and yellow,blue and Orange. I like the mix of colors but tryed to stay away from all yellow so the Labidochromis Caeruleus ( electric yellow) would stand out. Good luck :)

Those are gorgeous Andrew. Brownie points for putting in a couple cats. I love the colors selection.

I could do 100 groups of fish but I figured I'd do ones I know for sure you won't have problems with. Since I keep them and all :)
